Police are set to charge 10 people with murder over a violent Brisbane brawl that left a teenager dead and several others critically injured.

A 19-year-old man died after a fight between two groups of about 20 people at playing fields in Zillmere on Sunday afternoon.

Detective Superintendent Tony Fleming says 10 people are in police custody and in the process of being charged.

"I expect that each of those people will be charged with one count of murder," he told reporters on Wednesday.

Det Supt Fleming said the people will also be charged with 11 counts of acts intended to cause grievous bodily harm and one count of affray.

He said it will be alleged the people went to Zillmere with the intent to assault the victims.

"This was an event that was highly confrontational and has been traumatic for the victims of the crime and their families," he said.

Paramedics took 11 people to hospital after the attack suffering stab wounds and blunt force injuries after one group attacked another with knives and baseball bats.

Some of the victims were knifed in their torso, pelvis, head and face.

Three people remain in hospital with one in a serious condition.

Police believe three carloads of people arrived at the Zillmere park seeking "retribution" for another incident that happened in Brisbane's west on September 8.

Police believe the people involved in the brawl are members of Brisbane's African community.
